6 V EHICLE W EIGHING
The FT-15(D) Weight Indicator can be used in various type of vehicle weighing which are
 First & Second weighing,
 Weighing with preset vehicle weight and
 Transit weighing.
If no vehicle weighing cycle is in operation, the indicator waits in the instrument ready status by lightening the
“Ready” LED on the left top of the display. One of the operation keys may start any weighing cycle. The
weighing tickets, if any, are created automatically after a weighing cycle has been finalized.
If FT-15 in the instrument ready status receives a print command (“ASCII P” via communication interface or
manual print), the indicator transmits the weighing results via the communication interface. This feature is a
benefit for the user. In normal operation a PC software initiates ticket printing, but in case of problems with the
PC the FT-15 indicator can directly print the ticket on a local printer. The weighing results may be transferred to
the PC afterwards, when the PC has returned to normal operation.
Warning:
In normal weighbridge operation the operator MUST be very attentive and concentrated. Correct data
entry is mandatory. If the operator enters wrong data, it is NOT possible to cancel the operation or to change the
record in the data memory AFTER the ticket has been printed.
6.1 First and Second Weighing
This is the most common vehicle weighing procedure; the vehicle will be weighed two times and after the
second weighing the ticket will be printed with the difference as the net weight.
First weighing:
The first weighing data will be stored temporarily to the temporary first weighing memory and a first weighing
ticket for the second weighing cycle may be created.
First weighing can be done with or without printing the first weighing ticket (refer to parameter [045 ]).
The first weighing ticket includes the temporary first weighing memory code, the first weight value and the
vehicle ID, if any.
Second weighing:
This second weighing data will be combined with the first weighing data to create the weighing ticket. After the
second weighing has been finalized, the corresponding temporarily stored data to the temporary first weighing
memory can not be used again. The vehicle weighing data will be stored, too.
The first and the second weighing cycles are described on the following pages.
